In 1904 an addition was added to accommodate a growing congregation. In 1924 the old church was razed and the new church was built. The monies, time and material were all donated by the members of the parish. Father Frahling designed the church and was instrumental in its completion.
The church was closed in 1964.
It was razed in 1997.
